How our Domain Names Service can work for you
Registrations
Most companies register their own domain names. After all, in most territories registration of domain names is quick and cheap, with little, if any supporting documentation required.
However, this can lead to companies losing track of what domains they have registered and domains can sometimes unwittingly be registered in the name of the wrong legal entity.
We keep proper records of any domain name registrations and will ensure that there is consistency when domain name applications are submitted.

Dispute Resolution
The fact that domain name registration is quick, cheap and not subject to the production of supporting documentation means that it is all too easy for cyber-squatting to take place. Cyber-squatters purchase domains which are identical or similar to the trade marks of other companies and typically seek to make significant profit by selling the domain to the owner of the trade mark in question.
If someone else registers a domain name to which they are not entitled, though, there are various dispute resolution systems in place, which can ensure the domain is transferred to its rightful owner without the need to go to court. We can handle this process for you.

Strategy and Policy Advice
As is the case with trade mark registration, if you let us know about your marketing plans, we can develop a strategy to obtain the protection you need.

Searches
We can have searches conducted to see if anyone else has already registered the domain name you wish to register.

Watches
Watches can also be put in place to notify you when a domain name which is similar to your domain name or one of your trade marks has been registered. In this way you can halt the activities of cyber-squatters before they have held the registration for very long, which improves the chances that they will give up the domain name to you.

Renewals
Domain names typically become due for renewal quite frequently, typically every 1-2 years. If you fail to renew in time, the domain can be lost and snapped up by others within a very short period of time. It is therefore important to ensure that you have a reliable renewals service in place and we can offer this, via our renewals specialist, CPA.
